it could happen to you rule

who the dick would want to see Threads posts

I assume that people with those attitudes "miss what Twitter used to be."

Miss me with that shit, Twitter was always a shithole and Jack Dorsey was always a Nazi-protecting piece of shit.

Zuck and Meta ain't no better.

Wow, both instances I’m on (Lemmy and Mastodon) blocking Threads. I’m proud of my admins!

Yeah its gross

I hope they reconsider

People keep parroting that Threads will kill us all but won't explain how it could happen to the fediverse. As in, actual steps. Because Flipboard federated and I'm not flooded with news posts. Mastodon is used for Nazi instances and I'm not flooded by Nazi content, even if the maintainer don't block that particular instace due to not knowing it exists.

No, XMP is not a valid example. It requires specific people to be on that specific platform for you to connect with them, like iMessage and WhatsApp. The fediverse is nothing like that.

Can someone explain exactly how EEE will happen? Technically? Other than FUD?

EDIT: thank you all for the replies, there's definitely some good points that are worth considering that I couldn't find elsewhere.

Thank god my admin blocked them outright

i honestly don't get the hate. i love the fact that i wont need two apps anymore to see the more mainstream people i used to follow on twitter. tje worst part about twitter going under is the fragmentation.

That is an awesome image. He's into it.

Saying federation is the same as bootlicking is fucking bullshit. I want my insurance to defederate, but this is ridiculous exaggeration

I probably wouldn't use an instance if it wasn't federated to Threads

I don't think there's a good reason to avoid threads so long as it contains good and interesting users, and isn't making huge demands from your users.

I don't need any sort of isolationism pushed on me. I wouldn't sign up for an email provider that blocks GMail because "we're not corpo bootlickers", or a phone provider that only lets me call the coolest fellow comrades. If an instance wants to be its own little island with its own ideology, I'm cool with that, but it's not for me - I'm looking for an instance that behaves more like an un-opinionated public utility.

I should probably migrate my mastodon.social account, even though I barely use Mastodon. Any recommendations for cool servers with cool people?

In my opinion we should defederate with the servers federating with threads

As I still see that lemmy.world didn't block Zuck, it seems that it's time to change instance

I'm apparently of the minority opinion that the user should be allowed to choose what instances to block

Ok obviously no zuck, but that image do be kinda hot like yes make me lick your boots zaddy 🥵

is have no more backbone than chocolate eclair

I think because their instances don’t have enough content or interactions. Including threads isn’t necessarily going to fix it, it’ll just provide threads with more content that’s not on threads. People who want to use these admins instances are already using it, threads users aren’t going to migrate simply because these admins have included threads. In short, you’ve let in the fucking Trojans haven’t you? Did you let in the Trojans? Because I think that’s what you’ve done, you nimrods.

Woe is the individual who likes government agencies and celebrities I suppose.

Tbh I've been on here for a year now and I still don't know what this means 😬

It says Threads is federated for my instance, which means it should show up in my scrolling feed? But I've never seen a post and I sort by new...

Ignoring the context, this image is quite hot. I hope there were no actual Nazis involved.

I didn't expect to see Cazzo gay porn as a meme here lol

I’m excited for Threads to join the fedi… except all my family and friends are still on twitter.. damn

What does "Limited" and "Fedipact" mean on that list exactly?

They want people to validate their boring moss posts and clever regurgitation about enshittification
